Apologies if you've seen these elsewhere, but I'm proud I've actually painted a tonne this year, so I'm sharing! :) Long story short, I'm attending Apocalypticon UK (also providing some secret models/terrain which I'll share after the event) in November and I've been cracking through my IW to get to close to 20k points. I'm also adding a bit of Dark Mech which a friend of mine is using.

 

I'll start working through the models I've done this year, then hit you with the WIPs as they go. Most of these are either 3D printed, printed and combined with GW kits, or occasionally all of that with some old school scratch building. The army I'm taking to the event is a mix of my 30k and 40k armies, but we'll be using 40k rules only. Legacy datasheets etc and lots of counts as.

Cheers - hopefully have an army shot done in November - limiting to 18K for that, but I will have stuff that worn't be finished by then taking it over 20. I got a request to provide more terrain yesterday, so have to reduce my ambitions.

 

Back in the summer we ran Apocapaintathon and raise over £400 (24 hours of straight painting) and I managed to get all this done, most are done all but bases in this shot:

I'll run through the squads tomorrow, and the rest I've done since.

 

Here's some Scorpious Whilrwinds

Shiv Predator #1

Another Castellan 

IMG_20240427_152618859_HDR.jpg

 

and another (there are 6 in total)

Cheers. I'm keeping them fairly simple because I use them more for 30k, and the group locally is pretty hot on not just reusing 40k stuff as 30k. The 40k guys I play with are less bothered about how many spikes it has (or none at all).

 

Last Castellan

Squad Achassa (An ebay purchase who I rebased and tweaked the paintjobs - I did this a lot)

IMG_20240714_084644283.jpg

IMG_20240714_084747907.jpg

 

 

Squad Braururion (just a rebase for these guys)

Catching up a little:

Squad Cymollo (another Ebay purchase, I can't take credit for these guys)

IMG_20240714_085108489_HDR.jpg

IMG_20240714_085025479_HDR.jpg

 

Squad Dodagra (finally my work FW cannons on 3D printed marines) Normally this is a squad of 5 for 30k, but we've picked up a bolt gunner to act as the Sgt in 40k.

IMG_20240714_090257604.jpg

 

Crazy Dave (painted a decade ago, but only finished the base last month)

IMG_20240718_155802625.jpg

 

 

I'll also leave you with an old WIP - Rhino CEV

Squad Ephissa (Ebay purchase but some paint rework to tidy up and match the rest of my 30k troops and heavy and special weapons are my own work - taken from other squads to make this 40k legal)

IMG_20240714_090342941.jpg

IMG_20240714_090421294.jpg

 

Squad Feneos (Awesome looking Ebay purchase to which I added a Lascannon guy that I 3D printed and painted)

IMG_20240714_090459917.jpg

IMG_20240714_090632475.jpg

 

Squad Gournonesos (as per Ephissa, although the Missile guy was from another purchase) I don't really enjoy painting infantry so I bought lots and spent most of my time on the tanks)

IMG_20240714_090905541.jpg

IMG_20240714_090947554.jpg

More infantry... I was planning on taking over 300 Legionaries to Apocalypticon UK, but I've scaled back a bit as I'm needed to do some scenery to help out. I'll be taking high 200s.

 

Squad Myteum (from all the sources previously mentioned - I really need to split out the 30k stuff and just photograph that en masse)

 

IMG_20240714_092530590.jpg

Rhino AVLB - yes the bridge is bent, I straightened it loads of times, it just resets and it's a swine to print

thanks guys!

 

To answer the question on tanks - there are 2 of those Shiv Predators, one old Chaos Predator, a few Land Raiders and some Spartans, plus the Superheavies. I would have had a Kratos and Sicaran tank too, but it's not likely I'll get to those, nor the unofficial Lupercal tanks.

 

right back on with more stuff from this year:

Squad Rhamneze (mix of 30k stuff)

IMG_20240714_094333087.jpg

IMG_20240715_194913265.jpg

 

Squad Sozidrus

IMG_20240715_195723554.jpg

IMG_20240715_195813492.jpg

 

Squad Thermossos (the chap with the red whip is the new HQ who allows you to include militia in your 30k marine list in his normal role - I forget the proper title. The chap on the left of the second photo is Honsou's crony, the Newborn, and the Melta gunner is Grendel)

IMG_20240715_200023155.jpg

IMG_20240715_200130815.jpg

 

Squad Uzlar (a mix of ebay buys, but the standard bearer is awesome IMHO)

IMG_20240715_200419432.jpg

IMG_20240715_200511764.jpg

 

 

Squad Vasikon (more ebay purchases that I rebased and touched in the paintwork)

getting close to the end of the infantry. I'm not producing new stuff at the moment - still fighting with a giant terrain piece for Nov - it's huge and taking ages, I keep finding more details I need to 3d print.

 

Squad Wolos (3d prints and GW plastics)

IMG_20240715_200748103.jpg

IMG_20240715_201216942.jpg

 

Squad Xanthi (these guys have a plasma gunner joining when I get around to painting him, freeing up a bolter guy to act as Sgt on a Havoc Squad)

IMG_20240717_110308935.jpg

IMG_20240809_121811734.jpg

 

Squad Ypsos (as above, originally these were 2 5 men squads of my own guys, but ~I bought the snow based marines and thus was able to go full strength)

Squad Zancliopolis

Ok, so we've hit the point that I'm out of stuff from this year, so let's raid the archives, and you can see bigger images of some of the stuff in the battle pic.

 

Vindicator using Puppetswars Big Momma Cannon upgrade kit.

And finally a WIP of a Decimator from 2014 - he hasn't progressed until now. He's on my painting desk to do once the super scenery project is done

Me too - it's only been a decade since I started it - I need to custom mix some gold to match the one I had then though.

 

Another oldie - Obliterator (now waiting  to be rebased to 50mm)

Excellent stuff - I'm really glad you are sharing.  Particularly like your venomcrawlers - it seems like it would be really hard to get the stripes to look right on them (based on the photos I've seen of it done - never tried myself) but yours look great.  Also like your hunting pack of Decimators.

 

Your emergency Lord of Skulls is super goofy, but in a very "original Epic made big" way, so it kind of works - its like something out of a late 1990s White Dwarf magazine.

Thanks, same answer for the stripes as on all the vehicles, Tamiya masking tape, then just clean up with a brush if needed.

 

Yeah he's goofy as hell, I needed something for an event, and didn't have time to build the real one that I've got, so I found a crude old school one online. The STL files were not done well so I tweaked them quite a bit, and then swapped the head and arms for something custom. The head is actually based on Dantioch's helmet-mask.

Some WIPs from a few years back.3 of these Lupercal tanks are for my IW and the Proteus Achilles is now done too - pics in a few days when they arrived on the blog reel. I painted it back in May but forgot to upload the photos! The Warhound is also now done and had his first outing last weekend, but needs a joint repair before November.
